IMPROVEMENT IN SLEIGHS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,354, dated June 23, 1874; application filed September 13,1673. v

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, LoUIs F. FIscHER, of Fennimore, in the county of Grant and State of VisCOnsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleighs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in' the construction and arrangement of' a sleigh, as will be hereinafter more fullyset forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a plan view, Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 an end view, of my sleigh. Fig. 4 is an enlarged section ot' a part of the same.

The four sleds are all constructed in the same manner, the description of one answerthe tongue, attached and braced to a crossbar, E', which is pivoted in braces f f, attached to the inner sides at the front ends ot' the front sleds. Upon the front hound D is secured the ifth-wheel G, on which moves the front bolster I-I. From this bolster the reach I extends to and through the hind bolster II', which is tirml y secured on the hind hound D. The hind hound D is, by rods h 71., connected with a collar, on, placed on the reachv I, said colla-r being located on an iron band, 19, firmly fastened to the reach, and the collar conned on said band by pins a: m from moving up and down on the reach, but allows it to turn around. The front end of each rod h is, by a chain, s, connected with the front end of the corresponding rear sled.

This construction of the various parts forms a strong and durable yet light sleigh, which is easily turned and not liable to upset or get out of order.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

The combination of the two sleds, the rear one having rods h h., reach I, collar m, and chains s s, andcr the front one having f'th-wheel G and bolster H, all combined as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
